Pelaez said his manifestation has gained support not only from the Mindanao-based representatives but also from other lawmakers from the Visayas after the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) officials claimed BSU-ESC’s schools in the province and Bukidnon municipalities have non-qualified teachers and sub-standard facilities.

On Tuesday, the lower house committee on higher and technical education, chaired by committee chair Ann Hofer (2nd district Zamboanga Sibugay), conducted the first hearing of the issue raised by Rep. Juliet Uy (2nd district Misamis Oriental) and Malou Acosta – Alba (1st district Bukidnon) before the committee against Ched’s order to close the BSC-ESCs.

“Duna gani nahimong mga pulis and other professionals who (showed) excellence in their field,” Pelaez said.
